‘Peter Pan’ continues holiday tradition<br />

For more than three decades, Music<br />

Theater Works’ December production has<br />

been a North Shore tradition, bringing<br />

families together to enjoy a favorite musical<br />

over the holidays. Children, parents<br />

and grandparents alike have delighted in<br />

these annual presentations of beloved operettas<br />

and Broadway classics, and many<br />

young people remember them as a formative<br />

experience in kindling a life-long<br />

love of the theater.<br />

The tradition continues this year when<br />

Music Theater Works presents the perennially<br />

popular musical, “Peter Pan,”<br />

at Evanston’s Cahn Auditorium from<br />

Dec. 23-Jan. 1. The story of the boy who<br />

would not grow up and his swashbuckling<br />

nemesis, Captain Hook, has been near to<br />

the hearts of theatergoers since Peter first<br />

flew across a London stage more than 100<br />

years ago. There have been many versions<br />

of this tale over the years, but this<br />

1954 Broadway musical adaptation has<br />

emerged as perhaps the most favored of<br />

all.<br />

When a producer approached Mary<br />

Martin, Broadway’s premiere leading<br />

lady, with the opportunity to build a new<br />

“Peter Pan” around her abundant talents,<br />

she jumped at the chance. Martin was<br />

so enthusiastic about the project that she<br />

insisted on assembling the production<br />

team herself. Hearing the song, “Young<br />

at Heart,” on the radio, she decided then<br />

and there to hire its lyricist, an unknown<br />

twenty-something named Carolyn Leigh.<br />

Leigh brought along her even younger<br />

writing partner, the composer Morris<br />

“Moose” Charlap. Martin was delighted<br />

with her young songwriters, and felt they<br />

would bring a youthful exuberance to a<br />

tale that cried out for just that.<br />

In Broadway legend Jerome Robbins’<br />

original staging, “Peter Pan” was an immediate<br />

sensation on Broadway, and soon<br />

reached an audience of millions more on<br />

NBC television in 1955. The broadcast<br />

was so popular that the cast went into the<br />

NBC studio again in 1956 and 1960, and<br />

that 1960 taping was rerun year after year,<br />

introducing generations to this evergreen<br />

musical.<br />

A whole new generation can experience<br />

it live this December. Rudy Hogenmiller,<br />

Music Theater Works’ artistic director,<br />

will stage a magical new production with<br />

a cast of 33 led by Aubrey Adams (Paramount<br />

Theatre’s “Mamma Mia!” and<br />

“West Side Story”) taking the title role,<br />

and Music Theater Works’ longtime leading<br />

man, Larry Adams (“South Pacific”<br />

and “Kiss Me, Kate”) playing everyone’s<br />

favorite villain, the irrepressible Captain<br />

Hook. Among the young performers playing<br />

Peter’s loyal Lost Boys are Wilmette’s<br />

Asher Alcantera and Daniel Shoemaker.<br />

Roger L. Bingaman will lead the full orchestra<br />

playing the lush original Broadway<br />

orchestrations.<br />

So whether you’re a newcomer or a lifelong<br />

“Peter Pan” devotee, here is a chance<br />

to be part of an enduring local tradition,<br />

and fly off to Neverland this holiday season.<br />

Look out for crocodiles!<br />

“Peter Pan” will run Saturday, Dec.<br />

23 through Monday, Jan. 1 at Evanston’s<br />

Cahn Auditorium, 600 Emerson St. The<br />

audience can meet and talk with cast<br />

members after the matinee performances<br />

on Dec. 26, 27 and 30. As always at Music<br />

Theater Works, admission for those<br />

25-and-younger is half price. For tickets,<br />

‘Shen Yun: Connecting<br />

Heaven & Earth’ to play<br />

in March, April<br />

There was a time when<br />

the world was full of magic<br />

and splendor, and all on<br />

Earth existed in harmony<br />

with Heaven. One could<br />

see it in the arts, feel it in<br />

the air, and hear it in the<br />

beat of a drum.<br />

This was a land of heroes<br />

and sages, dragons<br />

and phoenixes, emperors<br />

and immortals. Known<br />

today as China, this place<br />

was once called “the Land<br />

of the Divine.”<br />

What if one could journey<br />

back and visit this lost<br />

paradise?<br />

Shen Yun brings the<br />

profound spirit of this<br />

lost civilization to life on<br />

stage with unrivaled artistic<br />

mastery. Every dance<br />

movement, every musical<br />

note, makes this a stunning<br />

visual and emotional experience<br />

people will not find<br />

anywhere else. Banned in<br />

communist China today,<br />

the nonprofit Shen Yun<br />

is dedicated to reviving<br />

5,000 years of civilization.<br />

Audiences can experience<br />

art connecting Heaven<br />

and Earth! They can<br />

experience Shen Yun.<br />

“An extraordinary<br />

experience! Exquisitely<br />

beautiful.”<br />

—Cate Blanchett, Academy<br />

Award–winning actress<br />

“Absolutely beautifu<br />

l... one big poetic event,<br />

new ideas for the next<br />

Academy-Award winning<br />

production designer for<br />

“Avatar”<br />

“I’ve reviewed over<br />

4,000 shows. None can<br />

compare to what I saw<br />

tonight. Go back and see<br />

it about six times.”<br />

—Richard Connema, renowned<br />

Broadway critic<br />

“Absolutely the No. 1<br />

show in the world, absolutely<br />

the best—no other<br />

company or of any style<br />

can match this.”<br />

—Kenn Wells, former<br />

lead dancer of the English<br />

National Ballet<br />

“Superb! Every performance<br />

was stunning.”<br />

Mary Ann, I have been caring<br />

for my mother in my home.<br />

How can I know when the right<br />

time comes to move her into<br />

memory care community?<br />

Most of us caring for our<br />

loved one come from a subjective<br />

place. I have found that the<br />

decision is easier to make if you<br />

step back and look at it more objectively.<br />

We want to keep the promises<br />

we have made to care for<br />

our loved ones. Sometimes that<br />

includes keeping them at home.<br />

However, it has been proven<br />

that when one is diagnosed with<br />

this disease, they have a better<br />

experience of life in a community<br />

where others are experiencing<br />

the same emotions, feelings and<br />

behaviors. In both my personal<br />

and professional experience, I<br />

have found that, surprisingly<br />

The right time to move into<br />

memory care community<br />

your loved one will have an<br />

easier time adjusting to what he<br />

or she are experiencing because<br />

they will be able to make new<br />

friends and it will bring them to<br />

an emotional comfort level that<br />

they would not experience if<br />

they were to stay in their homes.<br />

Family members don’t realize<br />

that being in their homes won’t<br />

give them the opportunity for<br />

the social interaction, exercise,<br />

reminiscing or connecting to<br />

past interests.<br />

The other opportunity that<br />

coming into a community can<br />

give them is the many types of<br />

engagement that they will be<br />

involved in which is extremely<br />

important to slow down the<br />

process of the disease. Lives<br />

change for those on this journey<br />

when in the proper environment.<br />

The time to choose to move to a<br />

community is sooner rather than<br />

later.<br />

So once a diagnosis is made,<br />

especially if it is very early onset,<br />

one should begin to create<br />

criteria for what you would like<br />

your loved one to experience<br />

when living in a memory care<br />

community.<br />

Emerald Place is an Anthem<br />

Memory Care Community,<br />

which means we are person centered,<br />

dedicating ourselves every<br />

day to providing the highest<br />

quality care, comfort and support<br />

to our residents. Our pledge<br />

is to protect, engage and love<br />

people living with memory loss.<br />

At Emerald Place, we offer<br />

support groups and educational<br />

events.<br />

Submitted by Emerald Place, 1879<br />

Chestnut Ave., Glenview. Contact<br />

Awakenings Holistic Wellness promotes<br />

health through hands-on healing<br />

Glenview<br />

From Page 10<br />

Country Christmas and Dessert with Santa<br />

Sunday-Thursday, Nov. 26-30, The<br />

Grove, 1421 Milwaukee Ave. Savor the<br />

sights and sounds of a country Christmas<br />

with friends and family. Meet at<br />

the Interpretive Center, then take a winter<br />

walk to the Pioneer Log Cabin for<br />

Kelly Moretta, owner of<br />

Awakenings Holistic Wellness,<br />

helps people move<br />

toward balance and wholeness<br />

with Reiki Bio-field<br />

Energy Therapy.<br />

Reiki is a Japanese<br />

hands-on healing technique<br />

that promotes overall<br />

health and well-being<br />

by restoring balance to the<br />

body’s energy system at<br />

physical, emotional, mental<br />

and spiritual levels.<br />

“Reiki is one of the fastest<br />

growing complementary<br />

healing techniques,”<br />

she explained. “It is widely<br />

practiced in homes,<br />

clinics, hospitals, nursing<br />

homes and spas throughout<br />

the world.”<br />

Clinical studies have<br />

shown that Reiki can relax<br />

the body, relieve pain,<br />

improve sleep, clear toxins<br />

and boost the immune<br />

system. Reiki benefits the<br />

healthy and those with illness<br />

and is valuable for all<br />

ages. It is widely used for<br />

stress management and relaxation.<br />

For people with<br />

chronic illness, regular<br />

treatments will help manage<br />

symptoms and enhance<br />

conventional treatment.<br />

Kelly works with her<br />

clients to customize each<br />

Reiki session based on<br />

their specific needs because<br />

of her passion for<br />

helping others.<br />

Kelly is a Reiki Master<br />

in the Usui/Tibetian, Ascension<br />

and Reiju systems<br />

of healing, among other<br />

modalities. Kelly holds<br />

certification with the International<br />

Association of<br />

Reiki Professionals and<br />

the International Center<br />

for Reiki Training.<br />

As the founder and coordinator<br />

of North Shore<br />

Reiki and Energy Healers<br />

she has created a local<br />

community for both<br />

experienced energy healers<br />

and those interested in<br />

experiencing and learning<br />

about the benefits of Reiki<br />

energy work.<br />

Kelly is also a Reiki<br />

Master Teacher offering<br />

certification classes for<br />

those wanting to enhance<br />

and empower their lives<br />

with this harmonizing energy.<br />

“Reiki’s gentle and nurturing<br />

energy is an ancient<br />

technique that is the wave<br />

of the future,” Kelly said.<br />

“For those looking for a<br />

more holistic approach to<br />

health and wellness the<br />

opportunities are endless.”<br />

Kelly discovered energy<br />

healing through her own<br />

need for healing.<br />

After leading a successful<br />

corporate management<br />

position while raising two<br />

young daughters, she suddenly<br />

found herself in<br />

need of medical help. The<br />

stress and demands of a<br />

fast-paced career and family<br />

life had taken its toll.<br />

She was diagnosed with<br />

an autoimmune condition<br />

similar to Lupus that demanded<br />

she immediately<br />

pay more attention to herself.<br />

Doctors offered a host of<br />

pharmaceuticals, but she<br />

knew the key was in making<br />

life changes and embracing<br />

holistic mind and<br />

body wellness techniques<br />

to heal herself.<br />

“I began practicing yoga<br />

and meditation,” Kelly<br />

said. “Later I received my<br />

first Reiki session, and although<br />

initially skeptical,<br />

I immediately became a<br />

believer and an outspoken<br />

advocate of this transformative<br />

healing art.”<br />

Having experienced the<br />

profound healing that she<br />

did, her passion to share<br />

it with as many people<br />

as possible was ignited.<br />

Kelly left her corporate<br />

career and began studying<br />

different modalities of energy<br />

healing, advancing to<br />

Master Teacher with Reiki<br />

as her chosen specialty.<br />

Along with her healing<br />

treatments, Kelly is also a<br />

certified yoga instructor.<br />

She often combines Reiki,<br />

breath work and meditation<br />

with her clients for a<br />

truly transformative experience.<br />

the Theatre’s new home as “the finest<br />

piece of theatrical construction to open in<br />

the U.S. in the past decade.” Meanwhile,<br />

Time Magazine called an evening at Writers<br />

Theatre “A nearly perfect evening of<br />

theater — an ideal match of play, performance<br />

and setting.” Why not see what all<br />

the fuss is about?<br />

With four exciting productions remaining<br />

in the 2017/18 Season — including<br />

celebrated classics by Oscar Wilde (“The<br />

Importance of Being Earnest”), Eugene<br />

O’Neill (“A Moon for the Misbegotten”)<br />

and Sam Shepard (“Buried Child”), as<br />

well as the fascinating new play, “Smart<br />

People,” by Chicago playwright Lydia R.<br />

Diamond — now is the perfect time to<br />

join as a subscriber and guarantee your<br />

tickets to these highly anticipated productions.<br />

Taking full advantage of our<br />

trademark intimacy, experience these<br />

captivating stories face-to-face with such<br />

Come​ ​and​ ​sing​<br />

​with​ ​YCT​ ​today<br />

Youth Choral Theater of<br />

Chicago (YCT) is a youth<br />

choir that has had its roots<br />

in Chicago’s North Shore<br />

for over 30 years. YCT is<br />

focused on bringing topnotch<br />

musical training to all<br />

students seeking musical<br />

education, no matter their<br />

economic background.<br />

Since our beginning, we<br />

have done just that.<br />

YCT stands out from<br />

other youth choirs through<br />

our training process that<br />

is deeply rooted in music<br />

education. Through our<br />

four different ensembles,<br />

involving students ages<br />

3-18, we train students in a<br />

continuous way that helps<br />

them advance through<br />

our ensembles with ease<br />

while developing their<br />

musical skills. We accept<br />

students going through a<br />

voice change, which not<br />

all youth choirs in the area<br />

do, because we believe<br />

that a well rounded choir<br />

includes all voice types.<br />

Another thing that sets<br />

YCT apart is our adventurous<br />

musical selections.<br />

Through commissions and<br />

collaborations with local<br />

composers, YCT performs<br />

pieces that are not only<br />

challenging to sing, but<br />

also expand the musical<br />

horizons of our singers.<br />

Last year, all YCT ensembles<br />

sang songs in Korean,<br />

Polynesian, Swahili, and<br />

Spanish. Our music addressed<br />

issues of discrimination,<br />

pride, courage,<br />

fear, love, hope, and exploration.<br />

We believe that<br />

it is not only important to<br />

push our students musically,<br />

but also emotionally,<br />

helping them to develop<br />

empathy inspired by what<br />

they are singing.<br />

The YCT season schedule<br />

works hard to eliminate<br />

conflicts with school schedules<br />

in the area. Classes<br />

begin in early September<br />

and end in May with breaks<br />

throughout, including<br />

Thanksgiving break, December<br />

holiday break, and<br />

spring break. Throughout<br />

the season, YCT ensembles<br />

have 5-6 concerts. Four<br />

of these concerts include<br />

all YCT ensembles while<br />

the remaining concerts are<br />

“professional concerts,” for<br />

our older students.<br />

YCT has four ensembles<br />

for students, each with its<br />

own age range, rehearsal,<br />

and concert schedule. Winnetka​<br />

​Children’s​ ​Chorus​<br />

is comprised of students<br />

grades preK (up to 3 years<br />

old) through first-grade<br />

and they rehearse from<br />

4:30-5:30 p.m. Mondays<br />

at the Winnetka Covenant<br />

Church.<br />

Concertina​is comprised<br />

of students grades 2-3 and<br />

rehearses from 5:30-6:30<br />

p.m. Mondays at the Winnetka<br />

Covenant Church.<br />

The Winnetka Covenant<br />

Church is located at 1200<br />

Hibbard<br />

Road, Wilmette. These<br />

two ensembles perform in<br />

the four season concerts<br />

that all YCT ensembles are<br />

included in.<br />

Treble​ ​Ensemble​ ​is comprised<br />

of students grades<br />

4-6 and rehearses from 3-4<br />

p.m. Sundays at Trinity<br />

United Methodist Church.<br />

Chamber​ ​Chorale​ is comprised<br />

of students grades<br />

7-12 and rehearses on 4-6<br />

p.m. Sundays at Trinity<br />

Knobel confirms the old saying: ‘What<br />

goes around, comes around’<br />

Karl Knobel began our<br />

remodeling business in<br />

his basement in 1933. As<br />

the business grew, he built<br />

a three-car garage on his<br />

property, using it as material<br />

storage, a warehouse<br />

and a workshop. When<br />

the business, the number<br />

of employees and the variety<br />

of products and innovations<br />

grew, he built a<br />

showroom with an office<br />

and a large workshop with<br />

warehouse space.<br />

For several years, the<br />

warehouse/workshop was<br />

used mostly to fabricate<br />

Corian kitchen and bath<br />

counter tops, as well as our<br />

normal kitchen and bath<br />

business, which includes<br />

partial and full makeover<br />

projects. Once again, the<br />

variety of products and<br />

their manufactures grew<br />

in number and size. It became<br />

a necessary service<br />

to our clients, as they made<br />

their product choices, to<br />

assist them at some of the<br />

huge showrooms dedicated<br />

to only selling the vast<br />

variety of products that<br />

are now available. So our<br />

business downsized, and<br />

the result was a smaller<br />

showroom without a workshop/warehouse<br />

space.<br />

Now, we have determined<br />

that for a more efficient<br />

and economic operation,<br />

we require even less<br />

space. Therefore, as of Jan.<br />

1, 2018, we are leaving the<br />

building that Karl built in<br />

1948 and moving into an<br />

office space at 1150 Wilmette<br />

Ave., Suite A. It’s<br />

not a garage, and is bigger<br />

than a small basement. It is<br />

the evolution of our business<br />

model. With the help<br />

of computers, smartphones<br />

and the like, we are able<br />

to continue to design, sell<br />

and install beautiful and<br />

functional kitchens and<br />

bathrooms that meet the<br />

individual needs of our clients.<br />

We are still developing<br />

and maintaining lasting<br />

relationships with our<br />

clients, who continue to<br />

recommend us to friends<br />

and neighbors, and we are<br />

still available for free estimates<br />

at (847) 251-4465<br />

and kgkinc@aol.com.<br />

Thank you, people of<br />

Wilmette and the North<br />

Shore communities for<br />

your continued support of<br />

our family business these<br />

past 84 years. Peter & Paul<br />

DEAR FRIENDS<br />

As the holidays approach, I have been<br />

reflecting on this past year when we<br />

have witnessed some of the greatest<br />

humanitarian crises of our time. Between<br />

devastating hurricanes to the south and<br />

wildfires on the west coast, so many lives<br />

have been affected. And many have lost<br />

everything – yet need to find the strength<br />

and courage to carry on.<br />

I have been blessed with a wonderful<br />

family, loyal staff and clientele. I would like<br />

to invite you all to participate with me in<br />

donating to the charity of your choice to help<br />

those around the world.<br />

We at Pascal pour Elle are giving a percentage<br />

of our proceeds to help those in need. Please<br />

visit our website at www.pascalpourelle.com<br />

and choose a charity you wish to help support.<br />

From our Pascal pour Elle family to yours,<br />

have a wonderful, happy and healthy holiday<br />

season, and a new year in which we all do<br />

our part to make the world a better place.<br />

Plenty of fun seasonal options throughout Wilmette<br />

People love to shop, eat and<br />

same reason people love living<br />

here: the people. Wilmette<br />

and play here too. They are<br />

your friends, your neighbors,<br />

your family. They have pride<br />

in their town and are here to<br />

is a great opportunity to make<br />

your way around Wilmette and<br />

and see what’s new.<br />

You may have lived around<br />

here for years and not realize<br />

how many new businesses<br />

have popped up in the last few<br />

years. Have you been to the<br />

this holiday season? Have<br />

Bella Tile make your kitchen<br />

look like you’re a chef and<br />

then call Scandia Catering if<br />

you’re not.<br />

What’s great about coming<br />

downtown Wilmette is that you<br />

can make a full day (or night)<br />

out of it. As the sun goes down<br />

and the beautiful lights on the<br />

trees come up, enjoy great dining<br />

by locally-owned Depot<br />

Nuevo, Napolita or Nicks or<br />

catch a movie at Wilmette Theatre.<br />

HEART Certified Auto Care promises<br />

same quality service for locals<br />

Duxler Complete Auto<br />

Care, a community leader<br />

in car repair and automotive<br />

services, proudly announced<br />

that the company<br />

is now HEART Certified<br />

Auto Care. The new name<br />

reflects their commitment<br />

to family values that is intertwined<br />

with their dedication<br />

to treating customers<br />

with compassion and<br />

respect at every step of<br />

their experience with automotive<br />

maintenance and<br />

repairs.<br />

Why HEART? Duxler<br />

is a family-owned business<br />

that has embraced<br />

family values since they<br />

first opened their doors<br />

in 1924. While the Moak<br />

family owns three Duxler<br />

locations, there are other<br />

Duxler stores, so the name<br />

had to be changed in order<br />

to take their mission nationwide.<br />

Capturing their<br />

core values in their new<br />

name, HEART, the company<br />

aspires to share their<br />

culture of caring across the<br />

U.S. They have a mission<br />

to always treat their customers<br />

as they would treat<br />

their neighbors — with<br />

compassion and respect.<br />

“Our new name shows<br />

that we care, in an industry<br />

that is not well known<br />

for its empathic approach<br />

toward customers,” said<br />

Brian Moak, founder and<br />

owner of HEART Certified<br />

Auto Care. “We want<br />

to build off our 90 years<br />

of tradition and move forward<br />

in the technical era to<br />

change how auto service is<br />

delivered. We’re providing<br />

a road map for long-term<br />

planning for your car. Our<br />

approach combines oldfashioned<br />

service with expert<br />

technicians to give our<br />

customers honest, genuine<br />

advice and same day service.”<br />

With the new name,<br />

HEART has established a<br />

new system to create complete<br />

transparency in auto<br />

care. All issues are photographed<br />

to show customers<br />

exactly why repairs<br />

are recommended. The<br />

new system is designed to<br />

provide all the information<br />

needed to make informed<br />

decisions about auto care.<br />

Though there may<br />

have been a few changes,<br />

HEART maintains its same<br />

great personnel in order<br />

continue serving their customers<br />

with the same high<br />

level of expertise and attentiveness<br />

that they were<br />

accustomed to receiving at<br />

Duxler. With complimentary<br />

loaner vehicles and<br />

same-day service, HEART<br />

continues to go the extra<br />

mile to make sure its customers<br />

are taken care of<br />

with as little disruption to<br />

their lives as possible.<br />

The technicians at<br />

HEART Certified Auto<br />

Care are ASE certified and<br />

committed to providing<br />

outstanding service, expert<br />

repairs and an exceptional<br />

customer experience.<br />

When you want more than<br />

just a mechanic, trust in<br />

Top 10 ingredients to have on hand for<br />

easy, casual holiday entertaining<br />

STATEPOINT MEDIA<br />

Grandma in town? Unexpected<br />

guests? No problem!<br />

With a little planning<br />

and the right ingredients,<br />

holiday entertaining is a<br />

snap.<br />

Stock up on these fridge,<br />

freezer and pantry staples a<br />

couple of weeks before the<br />

holiday rush, and you’ll be<br />

ready — no matter who’s<br />

on your doorstep.<br />

• Whole nuts: walnuts, pecans,<br />

almonds, cashews<br />

or pistachios.<br />

• Olives: whole and sliced,<br />

black ripe, green, Kalamata<br />

and stuffed varieties<br />

in cans and jars.<br />

• Cheese: feta, mozzarella,<br />

cheddar, and aged provolone<br />

(tightly wrapped<br />

or vacuum-pack cheeses<br />

can last in the fridge for<br />

several weeks).<br />

• Tortilla chips.<br />

• Salsa in a jar: mild or<br />

medium to please most<br />

palates.<br />

• Whole pita or pita crisps:<br />

pita bread can be frozen.<br />

• Hummus: choose a sealed<br />

refrigerated package.<br />

• Carrots, celery and bell<br />

peppers: whole veggies<br />

keep longer than precut,<br />

and these three are<br />

easy to find in the produce<br />

aisle.<br />

• Frozen cheese pizza:<br />

choose your favorite<br />

brand.<br />

• Olive oil: a kitchen essential.<br />

These 10 basic ingredients<br />

are the building<br />

blocks for five delicious,<br />

party-worthy spreads that<br />

can be prepped in 15 minutes<br />

or less! Here’s how:<br />

Fast Cheese and Olive Tray<br />

Cube cheddar cheese,<br />

aged provolone, and mozzarella.<br />

On a platter, make<br />

rows of alternating colors<br />

with cubed white cheese<br />

next to a row of green<br />

Pearls Specialties Garlic<br />

Stuffed Queen olives, then<br />

a row of darker cheese and<br />

a row of deep purple Kalamata<br />

olives. Present with<br />

toothpicks and napkins for<br />

easy self-service.<br />

Pizza-tizers<br />

A simple cheese pizza is<br />

a canvas for appetizer art!<br />

Add fresh, thinly sliced<br />

bell pepper, shredded<br />

mozzarella cheese, and a<br />

generous topping of sliced<br />

black ripe olives. Bake,<br />

then cut into mini-slices<br />

or small squares and serve<br />

on wooden cutting boards.<br />

Drizzle with olive oil.<br />

Mediterranean Medley<br />

Place store-bought hummus<br />

into a colorful dipping<br />

bowl. Drizzle with olive oil<br />

and top with sliced Pearls<br />

Kalamata olives. On a<br />

large platter, surround the<br />

bowl with equal amounts<br />

of pita triangles, carrot<br />

and celery sticks, plus bell<br />

pepper strips. Serve with a<br />

bowl of Kalamata olives<br />

and cubed feta cheese.<br />

Cheese and Olive Kebabs<br />

Alternate cubes of<br />

mozzarella or provolone<br />

cheese and any variety of<br />

olives on small bamboo<br />

skewers and serve on a<br />

tray, alongside pita triangles<br />

and hummus. Expert<br />

tip: Cut pita bread in<br />

triangles, brush with olive<br />

oil, warm in oven 350F for<br />

5-6 minutes.<br />

Olive Nachos<br />

Fill a cast iron pan with<br />

tortilla chips, generously<br />

grate cheddar cheese over<br />

the top, and slide under<br />

the broiler until the cheese<br />

bubbles. Spoon salsa on<br />

top, sprinkle with sliced<br />

Pearls California black<br />

ripe olives, and serve on a<br />

heat-resistant board.<br />

Extra Credit: Easy Pleasers<br />

Sometimes the simplest<br />

flavors are best. Fill several<br />

small, colorful bowls<br />

with Pearls Specialties<br />

olives, crunchy nuts, and<br />

cubed cheeses. A sprig of<br />

parsley, thyme or rosemary<br />

adds a decorative touch.<br />

The key to holiday entertaining<br />

is being prepared<br />

with a few simple ingredients<br />

so you can spend<br />

more time with guests and<br />

less time in the kitchen!<br />
